91. 194. Patiss’ inīmhi (248)

[Patissa + inīmhi = 2 words]

Patiss’ anto attam āpajjate inīmhi paccaye pare.

Gahapatānī.

Inīmhi ti kimatthaṃ? Gahapati.

‘Inī’ of “pati”.

When the suffix ‘inī’ follows, the end vowel of “pati” becomes ‘a’.

Example

Gahapatānī = gahapati + inī (‘i’ of “gahapati” becomes ‘a’ (§91); ‘i’ of ‘inī’ is elided (§13); ‘a’ is lengthened (§16)).

What is the purpose of saying “when ‘inī’ follows”? [This sutta does not apply when ‘inī’ does not follow, such as in] gahapati.

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
